"This takes the power of the vintage and puts it in its pocket for later, preferring instead to let mouthwatering briar, loganberry, mulberry and blackberry fruit strut its way forward, enlivened with roasted wood spice and supported by suavely but thoroughly embedded iron-tinged structure. Should cruise for two decades..." Wine Spectator

This is smokin hot. Absolutely delicious. Perfumes nose of berries and granite. Even keeled tannins and smooth structure. Deep black fruit with subtle mineralogy. Long finish. .

Powerful, broad shouldered Bordeaux. Loads of black currant & bitter chocolate accent d with cedar-y aromatics. Structured, but very approachable. Lingering finish of rich fruit. Delicious.
